1t will not be long before preparations
for taking the eleventh census will be in
order, and yet there are four volumes of
the tenth census that have not been pub
lished yet. This is due in part to the
failure of Congress to make necessary ap-
preparation, but the reason why Con-
gress has refused to do this is because OF
the great delay of the Statistican in pre-
pairing the volumes for the press, which,
it is held, has destroyed their usefulness
and made it not worth while to publish
them.

woman unknown to him, in which he was
informed that unless be sent her $50 inside
of % hours his wife would hear of something
to his disadvantage. He consulted his
lawyer, and the result was a sharp letter
from the attorney to the woman's address,
informing her what the law
set forth relative to blackmail.
This letter was registered, and consequently
could not be delivered to any person but
the one to whom it was addressed. A short
time after the letter was posted boy came
for the letter, but was informed that only
the woman for whom he inquired could re-
ceive it, A few moments after the woman
came and receipted fo' the supposed valuable
letter and the postoffice department had her
solid. When she read the contents she was
terribly frightened, and, althou5h prosecu.
tion has been threatened, probably nothing
will ever be done as she is in go0d family
and promised not 70 do so aoain.
